Swallowtails are notoriously challenging to shoot because they're in almost constant fluttering motion. But their four wing parts actually move separately, with the forward wings moving the most. So it you focus on the back wings it's possible to capture both their gorgeous color and the lovely flow of their forward wings. This is an Eastern Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes asterius).

A 1.25" wheel from a miniature plastic bicycle. It was difficult to turn the wheel with my finger and take the picture with my other hand. But it was fun and I don't always take these pictures.
Macro Mondays: "Motion Blur"
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and comment! I really appreciate it!
Luckily these two Geese had an almost identical take off speed., meaning both their heads panned to a reasonable sharpness even at 1/50 SS
Not always easy to get a good "Intentional Blur". Tried a lot of moving things, and the easiest is using a moving object. Thank you Janet for this theme, learned something new (again).
Capturing a long exposure of Dickson Falls at Fundy National Park

After taking some exposures of the Philly skyline from the South St. bridge - I came across Grace Tavern. This tavern is a small neighbor bar just off South St. Since my daughter watched the Eagles win Super Bowl LII here, I decided to snap off a few images.
While working out the exposure and focusing, I noticed two people walking toward the bar from my left. Quickly, I shot off an exposure. Although I don't typically try to capture people in my images, it seemed like an opportunity to catch a little motion. Luckily, it worked out - kind of funny that it looks like both have one leg.

Actually not ;-) Recently, I did another experiment similar to my DIY square bokeh, but this time I cut out a thin slit instead of a square. Hence, the bokeh consists of stripes which results in a motion blur like effect. The only drawback of this method is that the slit has to be pretty thin in order to not see the stripes, but the smaller the slit the greater the amount of diffraction is. Thus, you loose a lot of sharpness when you cut out a very thin slit. Furthermore, a thinner slit gives a greater DOF which means that your background has to be far away to get the desired look. Anyway, I hope you like my little creative experiment ;-)

A shot that sums up the constant energy and motion of a big sea running. Motion Sickness id by Damien Jurado. I'm off doing a High Brown Fritillary management assessment today to prepare for contractor work.
I really wasn't going to post this, as nothing is really in focus, but I decided I liked the sense of extreme motion of the wings. It is purely the result of a too slow shutter speed and what I think is some serious rolling shutter effect from the fully electronic silent shutter used in this shot.

Even though I was just scouting this view at the time, I could not leave here without taking a shot. I envisioned vertical orientation for this scene; however a horizontal composition would include more of the top of the falls. Therefore, I decided to attach my B&W 110 filter, and attempt a long exposure. My intention was to add a surreal effect to this daytime capture, by turning the waterfall into slow motion mist.

These Paddle Borders are neither board, nor without motion. Instead, they move through the colours of Smuggler Cove with the grace of flight. Their slightly blurred motion illustrates both movement and direction, as they slowly proceed through a kaleidoscope of colour.
By no means at it's peek of vibrance, this area still surrounds its viewers with the visual delights of nature. And, without urban sounds, it is as quiet as this image suggests.
